In this episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Melanie McNally. We crossed paths a few months ago through mutual contact, and from our very first conversation, I knew we were on the same page about how to best support parents and their teenagers. But here’s the thing—while Dr. McNally’s work focuses on parents of tweens and teens, there’s a ton of value here for parents with younger kids too. We talk a lot on this show about parenting with the end in mind, and this episode is a perfect example of why that’s so important.
